Consumer Reports Weighs In on Alternative Therapies


This article talks about an interesting Consumer Reports study on American's use of alternative therapies.  While the article suggests that people tend to prefer medications for some health conditions it also has the following to say about massage and back pain:

"Chiropractic, deep-tissue massage, and mind-body practices like yoga dominated the list of alternative treatments that respondents said were helpful for back pain, neck pain, and the aches of osteoarthritis."

"Pilates, yoga, and deep-tissue massage all rated about the same as prescription medication for back pain."

Better To Give Than To Receive?

Clients often say to me "Your work must be so hard/tiring..." and my response is always the same:  "My work is very relaxing and grounding."  I have two little ones at home and I find such peace at Well Within working on clients.  The atmosphere is so serene and peaceful and the work itself truly has a significant ability to ground and center me.  Its wonderful.

This article from MSNBC.COM supports my feelings about massage work:

"A new study of the social life of birds finds that while it's better to receive than to give, an individual providing a massage can expect a relaxation boost as well."

An interesting read.  Check it out!
